Anything Can Happen

Ch.6

There was caramel, black, roast, and decaf. I chose the caramel and filled up the small sized cup I got. When I got to the counter the man did not look like he enjoyed his life.

"Three fifty" he said.

His voice was flat. I took out four dollars out of my wallet and gave it to him. He gave me my change and I left. I walked over to the grass hill on the other side of the gas station and sat down. I pulled out my phone, took a sip of my coffee and called my mom.

When she picked up she started yelling at me "JACOB LEE LAFONTAINE! WHERE ARE YOU? I HAVE BEEN WORRIED SICK! YOU-"

I didnt listen after that. I kinda zoned out till I heard her yell my name again.

"What?" I asked.

"Did you hear anything I said?"

"Uh...this first part"

"Get home. Now" she voice was stern.

"I cant"

I looked around. No one was in site.

"Why not?"

"Uh, Im kinda, um, lost"

"How? Where were you? How did you manage to get lost? You went to school and then Connor told me he had a dream about you going to grandmas but he said it felt so real and you even got shoes and snacks and crap. Well then when I checked to see if your non-school shoes were there and they were not! I dont know where you are and apparently YOU DON'T EITHER!" She got angrier as she went on "I WANT YOU HOME! YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!"

"I DONT KNOW WHERE I AM!" I yelled back.

Then I looked around to see if anyone might have heard that. No one was there.

My mom sighed "tell me your surroundings and I will come and pick you up"

I smiled.
